Is there a way to add some code into the forums and galleries to get the width to adapt to differing screensizes?
I use 1280x1024 screen resolution because it gives me more space in my graphics programs and on this site i've got white spaces on both sides of the browser that are approximately 1-1/2 inches wide, each.
This isn't a gripe, just a question as it seems odd to me that most sites are designed to adapt to a user's screen resolution to fill the entire browser, but with the changeovers of the forums and now galleries, this site no longer does that.

The forum and gallery CSS schemes I put out increase Rendo into the screen area available, especially so with Firefox.
I can't remember now whether that was a bit of code I incorporated from someone else's scheme, or came up with myself. Kudos to the someone else if it was them.

Could you point that bit of code out to me?
As it is, the colors of the site (the colors! the colors!) don't bother me, but I'd be really grateful to get rid of those blank, white spaces.

It's this bit:
table.outside_table { width: auto; !important;}

It's this, I'm pretty sure - at least it's a major part of it.
table.outside_table { width: auto; !important;}
My few remaining neurons are telling me that it belongs to someone else here, unless I picked it up from off-site. Definitely not one of mine. I did do some alterations to maximise space use within the columns.

Ahh, thank you both very much!

That karen1573 will nick all the strawberry creams before you've finished looking at the selection guide. ;-)

Bwah ha ha ha!
My husband would agree :laugh:
By the way you can set that "auto" to a relative or definite figure, too - I've got mine set to 95%.
